And you think a ballad would have a better chance, without performances and promo. Cause if she isn't promoting an up tempo, do you honestly think she would be more inclined to do that for a ballad of all things.

LOL.

That shows you what Monsters and the Beyhiv will do to sabotage Britney's chance at a hit 4th single.
You know they were pushing those multivotes.
I would have preferred drop dead basic before criminal and I was over uptempos.
Inside out should have been chosen and then close the era out with UP n DOWN tour performance to cross promote the DVD. Too good to be true.

They must have forgotten to take their meds.
Criminal is not even Don't let me be the first to debut level radio friendly.

Advil is an album seller, Mariah has pushed back her album for 2 years now...Pink is a pop/hot ac artist not a pop artist like Britney

LOL so true.

Um, not this being stated post-WB.

What about chart smashes like Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman?

Or, Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know?

And what do those have in common?

My point was never a ballad needs a hit to be released, it was quite simply:

No. One. Is. Checking. For. A. Britney. Ballad.

Sorry. But at least give Britney Jean a fighting chance before throwing her to an area that has never been her strong point. One hit ballad, is an exception...not the rule.

People only pay attention to Britney's first 2 singles. The fact that she hasn't released a ballad as a first or 2nd single is very telling in itself that we cannot judge how a Britney ballad would do on the charts until it happens.

I think Perfume will slay

When Perfume hits #1, I'll remember this conversation, page 1966. Easy to remember. And I will drag you to the pits of the base when it happens. So now let's drop the subject until Perfume is released, that's how we should keep it Mr. Telephone Man

Not people using video, audio to amplify their point.
WB is not a hit...its not a flop.
Noone said Everytime was a success because it came after toxic but that it benefited from the smash that was Toxic and was strategically genius because after a smash like toxic they couldn't follow it up with another uptempo to do better so they went with a ballad that was good and offered a different side.

Now, they need a classic dance pop song radio friendly a l a toxic and THEN release everytime 2.0 so that people already have a dance smash and see another side of the album.


LOL exactly. People tend to think one-sided.
I can't wait for a ballad to be released but I also want to be smart about it as well. Without WB, I'd be here for Perfume 2nd but now it's better to go 3rd.
I'm glad Larry showed that they had some reservations about releasing Perfume despite seeming adamant before WB performance that it would be released sooner than later.
they are paying attention.

first i believe that a ballad or a midtempo will do good on britneys image
second we r talking about the second single so promo is happening for sure when the album will be released....

plus a ballad or a midtempo can have success without much promo cause its a song that u can connect too....see stay ( she did one perf in grammys ) someone like u , just give me a reason...

another pop song will not make any difference ...

WB is a HUGE flop

it hasnt even sold 500k ww after a month

Confession Time: I don't want her to release another uptempo because she already danced her arse off to Work Bitch (according to her anyway), now between her Vegas rehearsals and interviews, you think she has enough time (or effort) to learn another routine, given Britney's current motivation?

It has surpassed 500k, unless your source is Mediatraffic lolz

she is already reherasing so it possible

Crazy says hello, Stronger say hola, Everytime say salut, I I I wanna go o o (still trying to make this title happen: admittedly pressed) says Konnichiwa. I'm glad she doesn't have any other hit 3rd singles...I only know a few languages.

Well either way as long as she promotes I just hope you all understand how important a classic radio friendly but different (a la toxic) pop song can cement this era and then ballads, midtempos and other uptempos can add to it. This era needs a foundation and singing about some damn perfume might not do it.

When's the last time Britney sang a ballad on live television before? In 2004 since Everytime?

If Perfume is released as the 2nd single we better pray to the heavens that those visits to the vocal coach payed off and she is actually willing to try and sing live

It's her least successful lead single for sure. At least Slave, Me against the music and even My prerogative were worldwide hits. Work Brit doesn't even have that

so it sold 550k and that makes it successful ?

I was all for a ballad 2nd single when Work Bitch sitll had a chance. It doesn't anymore, and the GP needs to be reminded of what Britney does best (and it is NOT dance/EDM tracks, will.i.am): classic Pop with that originality that only her can bring to the table, as in tracks like Toxic, Piece Of Me, Womanizer, Circus and yeah, even TTWE.


OMG.

And all of this in the last 3 pages.



Btw, don't predict anything, my dear friend Luai - As someone said recenty, you're the new BRITNEY LICIOUS of the base when it comes to predictions, so just stop.

she will promote like she did with Circus & FF's era

Britney performed Circus at GMA, but did not help her get another #1, like TTWE.

so you think her second single gonna be HUGE, LOL.

She's been rehearsing for 4-5 hours...I'd imagine that would include for singles from the new album that will be performed at the residency...I'd wager a bet that some of those songs will be singles.
not seeing how it would be an issue.

Exactly...
the division begins bwahahahaha. JK
